Can I Preview My VidDay Video?

Yes! VidDay lets you generate free, low-resolution previews of your video — so you can review how everything looks before you finalize it. Previews are a great way to check the video’s flow, music, and overall feel, and make adjustments if needed.

🎥 Watch the video tutorial above to see exactly how to make a preview of your VidDay montage.

What Is a VidDay Video Preview?

A preview is a test version of your VidDay group video that lets you:

• See the order of your clips

• Listen to your background music

• Check transitions and timing

• Spot any last-minute fixes before finalizing

It’s free, optional, and you can generate as many previews as you like.

How to Create a Preview of Your VidDay Video

1. Go to your VidDay Event Page

2. Click the Preview card

3. Click Make a Preview

That’s it! Your preview will start rendering.

⏳ Preview rendering usually takes 5 to 30 minutes, depending on the length of your video and number of clips.

Once it’s ready:

• You’ll get an email notification

• You can watch the preview directly from your event page

What Can You Edit Before or After a Preview?

You can make changes at any time — even after creating a preview. For example:

• Rearranging the clip order

• Replacing or reordering background music

• Adjusting photo durations

• Adding or removing video messages and pictures

After making edits, just generate a new preview to see how it looks. You can repeat this process as many times as needed until you’re happy.

🎯 Think of previews as your creative checkpoint — you’re free to tweak and refine until it feels perfect.

Important Things to Know About Previews

When Should You Make a Preview?

While you can preview your VidDay video anytime, we recommend waiting until you’ve:

• Collected most of your video and photo submissions

• Finalized your music selection

• Adjusted clip order and photo timing

💡 Small tweaks usually won’t drastically change the preview — so try to group edits before creating one.

Finalizing vs. Previewing: What's the Difference?

• Previewing = A low-resolution, test version

• Finalizing = The high-quality, professionally rendered final video

Creating a preview doesn’t lock anything in. You can still:

• Add or remove clips

• Change music

• Invite more people

• Edit your intro or messages

Only when you click Finalize My Video will your video be locked and prepared for download and sharing.
